The psychotherapeutic relationship offers an opportunity to journey beyond the known. In this work, you are guided towards, and encouraged to explore those dream-like messages that often visit in the form of body symptoms, relationship problems, addictive behaviors, and inner-critic battles. We are usually conditioned to move away from these messages and are admonished (or admonish ourselves!) to find something else to do. Nevertheless, these "problems" don't seem to go away by themselves, but tend to persist in a chronic way--demanding our attention. My work involves honoring these messages and in the spirit of heartfelt inquiry, learning what's needed to move beyond our limitations. Because this work requires following one's process through all its unpredictable expressions, the therapist must be highly adaptable and fluid. As a licensed psychotherapist, I have been involved for the past 15 years in Arny Mindell's Process Work. In addition, I have had extensive training and practice in yoga,massage, hypnotherapy, NLP, meditation, applied kinesiology, addictions work and Brainspotting. Thank you, Michael.

Are you looking for gentle, friendly, confidential support in dealing with difficult feelings or issues in your life?

I offer natural, holistic psychotherapy and counseling for individual adults and couples.

I can help you shift out of old patterns that no longer serve you, and give you new tools to transform stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sensitivity, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, or difficult transitions.

I use a variety of tools, including relaxation skills, body-mind awareness, dream exploration, Gestalt, EMDR, and shamanic journeys. I also teach relationship and communication skills for couples.

At all times, my aim is to respect your feelings and concerns, to respond in a sensitive, caring, human way, and to help you find and embrace your strengths.

Please call 303-415-3755 for a free consultation.

I work with individuals, couples and families, with special interest/expertise in supporting step-families. I'm also fascinated by the intersection between spiritual and emotional wellness. While I work with clients who don't identify as either "spiritual" or "religious," I'm also open to exploring those connections with clients when they find it useful.

Therapy tends to be short-term, focused on goals we agree upon together and revisit often.

A free 30-minute consultation can be arranged, to make sure there's a good fit. You can find "testimonials" on my website, describing a warm, engaging style combined with valuable skills. I offer a sliding fee scale as needed.

My office offers abundant, free and convenient parking with easy access from Longmont, Louisville and other areas of east Boulder County, in addition to Boulder
